We really enjoyed our stay this time with the Nugget. It was Hot August Nights and even though the casino and hotel was packed with people, every staff member was really nice and our room was fantastic!
We went to Hot August Nights (ok - its in July/early August this year), and had a good time at the John Ascuaga's Nugget. They had an ownership change earlier this year and we could tell they are working hard to make major improvements. They recently opened Gilley's. Gilley's, a country western bar complete with a mechanical bull, is a fun place to go. For Hot August Nights, they were showing free movies in their large theater. It was so fun watching Jail House Rock there. They did a great job of bringing in top notch musical entertainment.While the line for the buffet looked like it went on "forever" people were patiently waiting for the buffet. We ate at Gilley's instead-good food and service.The hotel is the "centerpiece" for Sparks. We were in the area a few weeks before and they did an awesome Fourth of July here with shooting off fireworks from on top of the hotel.All in all - good improvements here and hope they continue. So for now 4 out of 5 as there is still room for improvement. But nice changes so far...
a nice casino & Hotel, not too noisy, friendly, helpful staff.liked the room & the comfortable beds.Did not like the soya Latte from starbucks, it made me sick,Staff should keep soya milk fresh
I stayed 1 night on a great deal. Was satisfied with the hotel as it was really nice. However, a couple problems. The TV was very small and the remote didn't work without you really pushing hard on the buttons. Also there was a gap under the room door of over 1/2 inch. This allowed me to hear the maids all afternoon talking down the hall. Also I heard the drunks coming back to their room at 2 am. And only other problem is that I constantly heard water running while inside the bathroom (which was really nice otherwise). I may have been next to a boiler room? all night long the water was running. I don't think the people in the next room had their shower going the whole night. The room had plenty of electric outlets for all the gadgets, the wi-fi worked fair, and there was plenty of room. It could be rated higher if these small items were fixed.
Recently in the Wolf Pack World we live in here UNR is everyone's Favorite and Men wearing UNR WolfPack shirts were turned away from Gilley's and told to go to the gift shop and buy Gilley's shirts because "COLORS" are not allowed Also even though the Buffet Price has been lowered so has the quality I am very allergic to anchovies and worchestershire sauce has anchovies in it I ate chicken caccitore there and started haveing troube breathing I ate only salad with thousand Island next trip same thing !!That is" cheap seasoning "Also Rosie's has raised some prices or gives less Not too thrilled!!!
I was worried looking at bad reviews after making reservation to stay. We stayed in hotel for one night and had awesome time. We were given very clean room on the corner with windows on two sides which had great view of city. Room was very clean. Enjoyed free drinks at casino. I also won $300 playing slots. I will stay here if I ever come back.
Just checked in its not nice at all , gross furnishings,stinks , huge old school tv , no fridge view is horrible not worth 125 at all ...but staff if friendly
Try their Buffet; It is great!!!! Then all their Restaurants are great within The Nugget. Their is a Hugh bowl of shrimp in a bowl I love to get their. I also like to gat a lot of Bananas and cut them up and have cream with them. Also I LOVE STEAK.......Jean Patrice Fagan
Staying at the nugget this weekend. With kids it is a good hotel due to the pool. We enjoy the casino. BUT they have lost my trust. I reserved two rooms. They actually allowed someone to check into one of my rooms before I arrived, no identification, no credit card, (they actually allowed him to sign in on my card). Different name, everything! We arrived to find they had been sweet talked by an old man. So, how many bills did he run up on my credit card (room charges) without my permission? They had my cell number, they could have called to verify the story.
The Nugget is in Sparks, Nevada which is about 10 minutes from Reno. The drive there really isn't worth it because there really is nothing that makes it stand out or separates it from the hotels/casinos in Downtown Reno near the arch. Also, it doesn't have a lot that caters to families. It's an older property in need of renovation.
